BDG TIPTOED THROUGH THE THOMBSTONES!! Jo Barrett camps it up HAMMER horror meets country house murder mystery was in this wacky production from the Boxford Drama Group, with a large dash of Addams Family dark comedy added for good measure. By setting the tone right from the very beginning, Joe Barrett as Vernon Prewitt was the key to the rest of the play's success. Wandering around in a pinny with feather duster in pink marigold-clad hand, he employed more camp clichés than if he had been auditioning to be the only gay in the village. It was all so outrageous that it gave the rest of the cast licence to take their characters out on a limb. This was a play where nothing was what it seemed and nobody was who they appeared to be. All the players and back room staff are to be congratulated on another excellent production and those responsible for scenery and special effects The Cast, most having come back from the dead. deserve applause for making the whole production work as slickly as it did. bass, Pat Illingworth drums.
